But I'm reminded, too, of the Edwin Arlington Robinson poem, "Richard Cory," which describes Cory as " a gentleman from sole to crown" who exhibits such grace and panache that he is envied by passersby who are not as fortunate. Then, of course, comes the ending similar to this gruesome conclusion. Strange how Maury Cemetery holds two couples who died of violent means. I was told by Beattie descendants that Henry and Louise were interred side by side because after a while, nobody would remember the story, and it was less of a scandal. (Maybe, too, the family already had bought the plots). What happened with the Carters? Crazy.HEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875404162768628296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495295138304264877.post-45963489248240554822015-04-29T10:28:04.293-04:002015-04-29T10:28:04.293-04:00As more of a postscript than a comment, Lacy and P...As more of a postscript than a comment, Lacy and Pearl Carter are not the only pair of killers and victims buried together in Maury Cemetery. Louise Beattie is buried in Maury beside her husband, Henry under the epitaph, “Beyond the River.” Henry killed her with a shotgun in 1911 and was electrocuted for the crime later that year.Seldennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495295138304264877.post-13419819620857409352015-04-28T14:34:24.478-04:002015-04-28T14:34:24.478-04:00My thanks to Amy Judd for research assistance with...My thanks to Amy Judd for research assistance with this article.Seldennoreply@blogger.com
